Alright, so this one is going to be difficult. Here's the problems I'm having:
For the sake of consistency, we should have 64 entrants.
I don't think we can do 64 different TYPES of beer - or can we?
I think, because they do represent the VAST majority of beer consumed in the world, we need to include juggernauts like Budweiser, Coors, Heineken, Beck's, Bass, Guinness, etc., instead of only craft brews and quality macros.
If someone is already compiling this/building this poll, please let me know. Otherwise, I am happy to do it. Should be kind of fun.

don't think there are 64 beers than more than 50% of the voters will all be familiar with
I'd vote for 32

I guess I'd recommend a mix of specifics (Huyghe Delirium Tremens, Budweiser, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, etc) and styles (saison, maibock). This is going to be tough. Very few ilxors have will have tasted all 64 on the bracket, no matter what they are, and won't be able to cast an informed vote.

i think this is just too much. an all encompassing booze poll, i mean...
the food poll was a mishmash of ingredients, specific foods, and whole dish-styles. i guess that kind of works for booze too, in some ways, since, say 'drambuie' and 'chartreuse' are brands as well as the only thing of its kind.
but man, i dunno.

as someone who deals with categorizing information and someone who loves to drink this is really bugging me out

unicum vs malört would be kind of fantastic, particularly if you had to taste-test before voting

Alright, I'm going to work this thing up.
Its going to be an all-alcoholic bevs poll, out of the interest of seeing a good bit of trans-category conflict.
I'm going to keep jaymc's 16 beers.
